The Pentagon said Thursday that it intends to spend $400 million to develop a giant dirigible that will float 65,000 feet above the Earth for 10 years, providing unblinking and intricate radar surveillance of the vehicles, planes and even people below.
“It is absolutely revolutionary,” Werner J.A. Dahm, chief scientist for the Air Force, said of the proposed unmanned airship — describing it as a cross between a satellite and a spy plane.The 450-foot-long craft would give the U.S. military a better understanding of an adversary’s movements, habits and tactics, officials said. And the ability to constantly monitor small movements in a wide area — the Afghanistan- Pakistan border, for example — would dramatically improve military intelligence.
“It is constant surveillance, uninterrupted,” Dahm said. “When you only have a short-time view — whether it is a few hours or a few days — that is not enough to put the picture together.”
The project reflects a shift in Pentagon planning and spending priorities under Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, who has urged the military services to improve intelligence and surveillance operations while cutting high-tech weaponry costs.

If they are finally announcing this is their plan why don’t they just admit they have already been using them for 10 years. This is not “new” news but it’s nice to see Infowars bringing it to the limelight. I seem to remember Alex mentioning these blimps years ago (or maybe it was C2C)
March 13th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
Ya……used in Afghanistan? Pakistan? Do you really need this to spy on goat herders?

An upgrade to the global hawk….
Anyone wonder-
Say a woman gets raped in the park walking her dog. With this type of technology, will we be able to rewind time and go back to the time the crime was committed and see what happened??

Lucifer does not have the ability to be in all places at once. Don’t get angry because his eyes are getting bigger. Love your neighbor as yourself. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Its all about love, not stopping Lucifer from his own demise. Let the NWO come. Jesus has our back and front and side to side.

What a trash story, I must say, this Alex Jones is one big job. Now I must give him credit, for the way he grew prison planet, and infowars to the sites they are today. Furthermore, he brought a lot of really people stupid in the would out of the shade and into the light. I have asked Alex Jones to allow me time to speak with him on the news he reports on his sites. Now i say, he grew by leaps and bounds, yet he does not give the real whole honest truth about the world today. There is no secret group trying to take control over the world and build a New World Order. The reason for that being false, is that we all ready control the world, and have a one world government. Now you see the myth, of what Alex Jones talks about on his site. Most of you think the change is far off, but in reality, all the people of the world have been controlled since the time you arrived on this planet. We will continue to control you, because you are weak, and nothing with out us. We do not want control over the food supply, we all ready have control over the food supply. We do not want more control over the guns, we all ready control the guns. None of you make your own guns, that is why you buy them from us. You may grow food at you house by you get the seeds from us, and will always depend on us for your daily survival. Now you see the real light. We do not want more control over you life we all ready have control over you life. Even Alex Jones depends on us, he is our dependent. LoL With out us Alex Jones is nothing, just another little piss ant. He makes lots of money for us, by using our system, the same system that he hates. LOL, Come on Alex, tell the sheep the whole truth, Game over, Endgame ended in the 16th century. We gave you freedom only to re-slave you. So if you want to live in this world, the best thing for you guys to do is just keep working with-in the system, like good little children.
Peace,
The Duke

You ever seen what happens to the big, cocky, grasshopper, when he leisurely hops over a piss ant mound? Strength in numbers, is still is the law of the jungle, cowardly showman. The Duke? chronic pretentiousness much ? You and your pernicious, asshole friends, are in need of the reality check. When you and Al Gore built the Internet or whatever, did you envision, the 274 million, armed slaves, huffing and puffing to blow your houses down? Your Social Engineers can’t stop the Laws of Nature! A couple of dogs guarding the pigpen, are no match for the whole farm. and don’t you forget it. Children? Yeah, 270 million children, could have one hell of a temper tantrum. You tremble under the marching of many good men’s boots. Your not nearly as safe in your assumptions, as you think.

Your “power” is false power, not real.
You are a lower rank of the pyramid, an illusion grid – a slave system of a false god.
The One True God of the universe is the only True Power.
Wake Up. Before its too late.

You said all those words (don’t feel like counting them, but normally I would have), but you never managed to support the only relevant assertion you made:
“What a trash story,…”
– What a trash comment!

What do you mean “become terrorists”?
Precisely how is it that you believe “The People”, that is the whole ass of them — or even a significant portion of them — can somehow “become terrorists”?
Your brain is twisted. Your logic is screwy. Correct head.

I saw a light in the sky once that was highly questionable. It had the flashing lights of a plane, but it didn’t opperate like a plane—(unless I’m actually uneducated about how a plane is really capable of opperating). I watched this thing in the sky for probably about eight minutes and for about four minutes it was completely stationary in the night sky, and it flashed four different colosr of lights: blue, red, green, and white. It was rather large and triangular. After those four minutes, it then flew off at slow sped, then it went to medium speed and left my range of sight in the dark. This thing showed up in the night sky above my family’s new home, right after we moved. I haven’t seen it since then, however.

If you look at the stats…pretty much every school shooting, that is so prevalent these days, started after 1985…..the psychiatric drugs hit our children in the early 1990’s….and now the masses are on prescription drugs everywhere….these drugs have no scientific proof that they do what psychiatrist prescribe them to do…in fact many of them cause suicidal thoughts and severe depression….guns don’t kill people…..people kill people

Every now and then, one of those high-tech blimps and other experimental craft falls out of the sky, and man, belly up to the bar and watch the “interesting” cover stories that are put out to “explain” what happened…GOSH DARN, the “exploding meth lab” cover- story seems to be in vogue now, tomorrow, it will be “shithouses spontaneously erupting in flames”, probably due to the presence of a certain troublesome (and now, “late”) town-council member, as to why there were all those hovering helicopters and out-of-town news-vans rounding our quiet village street-corners on two wheels! YOU GO, news-hounds, see if you can bark up the right tree on THIS STORY…Yep, just more DNQ-”distraction news quack”.

WHO IS THE KING OF TEXAS
I will show myself on April 22 in Waco Texas at the massacre site. I am calling as many Christians of this nation who can find the time to come and see what it is that you don’t even know that you want.
I have the answers for the Christians who have never been defended by their government but have rather been oppressed by their so called government of freedom.
I also have the answers to the current generated economic crisis. This is a peaceful gathering for YHWH our God. But you might want to bring a firearm just in case. After all let us not forget what they did to us in Waco. MAY OUR LORD JESUS BE WITH YOU FRIEND.
I realize it is off topic please forgive me.
